A32802	The rise, growth, and danger of Socinianisme together with a plaine discovery of a desperate designe of corrupting the Protestant religion, whereby it appeares that the religion which hath been so violently contended for (by the Archbishop of Canterbury and his adherents) is not the true pure Protestant religion, but an hotchpotch of Arminianisme, Socinianisme and popery : it is likewise made evident, that the atheists, Anabaptists, and sectaries so much complained of, have been raised or encouraged by the doctrines and practises of the Arminian, Socinian and popish party / by Fr. Cheynell ...	Cheynell, Francis, 1608-1665.	1643 (1643)	Wing C3815; ESTC R16168	87,143	88

and State it is fit the heresy should be early discovered left both Church and State be ruined by it 4. The Parliament is much blamed for imprisoning the Translatour without cause and it is much wondered at that his Chamber should be searched by officers now the cause of both will appear The Translatour and his work were so famous that there was notice given of his good service intended to this Nation upon notice given there was a search made now upon search made the book being found and the Translatour apprehended the Parliament is rather guilty of his release then of his Imprisonment 5. The Translatour cannot complain of the publishing of it because as hath been shewn he himself intended to publish it he submits all to these times of Reformation and so doe I let the Reformers judge This book belongs to your Honour because it is but a Prodromus or Fore-runner to make way for a full answer to Master Webberlies Translation and therefore I present it to you not only because Master Webberlies book was seised on by your Lordships warrant but because I know your Honour hath ever patronized the true Protestant Religion for Protestants doe not place Religion in shadowes and ceremonies and because you justly abhorre all superstitious rites whether old or new all judicious men will esteem you the stricter Protestant That you may testify your dislike of Schisme as well as Heresy you have discovered and refuted the uncharitable and bitter errour of the Brownists You have studied Nazianzens law of Martyrdome neither to seek nor fear danger the first would be rashnesse and the second cowardlinesse {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} You are not of the sect of the Elcesaites whereas Eusebius and Augustine testify taught men to deny the faith in time of Persecution and yet to keep it still in their heart forgetting that of the Apostle that with the heart man beleeves unto righteousnesse but with the mouth confession is made unto salvation Rom. 10. 10. You have learnt to be a good Christian and therefore a good Subject Conscience will bind you to obedience and no other Bond will hold men close to their duty to that Allegiance which is due by the Law of God and the Land both in these treacherous times It was the wisedome of that famous Emperour to banish all Renegado's from his Court {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} as Traytours against God himselfe for he considered that they who betrayed God for feare would not stick to betray their Prince for gain I dare say that you are the Kings sworne servant and all men say that in your place you doe advance the Kings Income to the highest nay some have been bold to say that you have lesse care of the subjects profit then of the Kings Your devotions speak you a Royalist none prayes more heartily for the King It is your Iudgement that the Kingdome cannot be preserved without an union between the three Estates by which the kingdome is governed and if you might have been heard you would have petitioned and sollicited for an happy union between King and Parliament only you conceive that an union between a Court of Justice and capitall Delinquents is intolerable and an happy union between Protestants and Papists altogether impossible We cannot forget how many leagues the Papists broke in 6. yeares space I reckon from 1572. to 1588. Wise Homer and witty Aristophanes were both in good earnest when they said that no man that had either wealth or Innocence could delight in Civill Warre and Aristophanes shewed himselfe as good a Statesman as a Poet in his sweet lines of Peace where he advises all men to beware how they enter into a league of Peace with men that are unpeaceable and sure Delinquents and Papists are none of the trustiest or meekest men What saith he shall Gulls confide in Foxes {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} The Papists will certainly count us Protestants Gulls indeed well we may be as innocent as doves but we are as simple as Gulls if we confide in Jesuited Foxes let the woolfe and the sheep be first married and see how they agree let us try whether we can make a crabbe goe streight forward or make a Hedge-hog smooth {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} c. If we say to the Pope as the men of Jabesh said to Nahash Make a covenant with us and we will serve thee the Pope will answer like Nahash the Ammonite On this condition will I make a covenant with you that I may thrust out all your right eyes and lay it as a reproach upon all England all Israel all the Reformed Churches 1 Sam. 11. 1 2. If wee have lost our eyes already let us be avenged on the Philistines the Lord strengthen us as Sampson said that we may overthrow the pillars upon which Rome stands so shall we be avenged of the Romane Philistines for both our eyes Judges 16. 28. But there are other Philistines namely Arminian and Socinian Philistines by which Church and State are much endangered and it is the businesse now in hand to lay open their mystery of iniquity to the publique view Wee may say to these pestilent Heretiques as well as to malignant Statesmen Ita nati estis ut mala vestra ad Rempub. pertineant for there are no greater Statesmen in the world then the English Arminians and Popish Socinians for such Monsters hath England nourished as are not to be found in all Africa Herod and Pilate the Romane and the Racovian Antichrist are made friends in England all the Grand-Malignants Arminians Papists and Socinians are of one confederacy all united under one head the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury the Patriarch or Pope of this British world alterius orbis Papa as his Brother-Pope hath given him leave to phrase it because he saw the Arch-Bishop too proud to acknowledge his Supremacy but forward enough to maintain any other point of Popery ready to joyn with him to suppresse all Pure Protestants If this Design take effect there may wel be a reconciliation professed established between Rome and Canterbury the two Popes may divide the spoile of the Church betweene them if they can but agree at parting Whether some have not endeavoured to make such a Reconciliation whether all points of Popery almost have not been greedily embraced in England and that of the Popes Supremacy only rejected more out of pride then conscience let the prudent judge they have light and evidence enough and new evidence is dayly produced The Lord unite the King and Parliament that Truth and Iustice Piety and Peace may be established in our dayes so prayes Aprill 18. 1643.
